Everyone is comparing Trump to Nixon — now with 100% more Henry Kissinger!

UPDATE: May 10, 2017, 11:46 a.m. EDT Donald Trump met with Henry Kissinger, national security advisor and secretory of state under Richard Nixon, on Wednesday, which, you know, we felt we needed to include.

That's not normal, though it's also not unprecedented. Another president fired the person in charge of investigating his administration: Richard Nixon.

Almost immediately after Trump fired Comey, the Nixon comparisons began — particularly around the "Saturday Night Massacre." That's the night in which Nixon fired the special prosecutor assigned to investigating what would eventually come to be known as the Watergate Scandal. After the firing, the attorney general and deputy attorney general resigned.
